Replacing caliper boots?
#11
Personally I would just replace the whole caliper.
If you rebuild it you will still have to bleed it.
Land Rover recommended flushing out all the old brake fluid and replacing it with new every 24 months no matter the miles.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture so it is a good idea to replace it.
It is pain but your braking system will thank you.
EDIT:always replace brake parts in pairs, so both calipers on the same axle at the same time.

A quick reply. By your questions, don't take this personally, but you don't know how nor would I suggest you try rebuilding a caliper.
First, why are you thinking you need to do something to your caliper and which one? If it is the front, you will need to do them in pairs otherwise you risk the chance of having a bad brake pull if only one is replaced.

cover the piston and seal in brake fluid so the will slide easy. Now the dust boot is a different story line the piston up on the dustboot and blow a small volume of air into the hose fitting.
the air will cause the dust seal to expands out over the piston allowing you to install the piston
